A [CrossCompiler] is a [Compiler] capable of generating [BinaryExecutable]s for a platform other than that on which it currently runs. [GCC] can be a [CrossCompiler] if correctly setup.
For example, you can compile up GCC so that it creates WIN32 executables when running on [Linux], so you don't even have to go near a Windows computer during development. Coupled with a [CrossPlatform] [GUI] like [wxWindows], you can use the same source code and Makefiles to create native applications for multiple platforms all from the comfort of your Linux box!
